- Restrictive agreements affecting the ability to attract and/or keep talented employees
- Efforts by organized labor to establish representational rights in this largely unorganized workforce
- Problems arising from the multiemployer worksite
- Occupational safety and health issues
- Wage and hour problems
- Compliance with a host of federal and state regulations of the workplace
